Overview of 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 90 For Sale by Owner

There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.

Exterior and Interior

Behold, this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 in all its Stornaway Gray glory. You might notice the short wheelbase nature of this vehicle, that’s because the Defender came in 90 and 110 forms. There was even a 130 variant. The number refers to the approximate length of the wheelbase, in inches. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 also has LED headlamps, alloy wheels, black checkerplate detailing, and side steps. Furthermore, it’s protected from thieves by a Viper security system. Step aboard this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90, and you’ll note its black leather interior. Behind the two front seats are a set of facing benches, for more eager passengers to travel. Then, there’s an additional Eberspacher heating system, plus a Sony flat-screen touch-enabled infotainment system, replete with reverse camera view. You’ve also got air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks. There’s also a center console, with storage and cup holders.

Engine

This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 packs a 300Tdi powertrain, which is a turbocharged 2.5-liter diesel engine. The 300Tdi was rated for 111hp and 195lb-ft. In this 1996 Land Rover Defender 90, it’s paired with an automatic transmission, and powers all four wheels via a 2-speed transfer case. This combo means that you can venture off-road with ease, while enjoying ample on-road performance, even on the highways criss-crossing our country.
